Covering tips from the rule of thirds to symmetry, this is a great place to start to understanding composition particularly as it applies to landscape photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landscape and black and white photography have had a really close relationship since pretty much the beginning of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here in this guide, Jason Row shares with us some in-depth information about how to perfect the art of black and white landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ND filters are going to be your best friends if you are slightly interested in landscape photography. Understanding how they can affect light could be very tricky, but here our friend Jason D. Little makes it easier for us by explaining how to use them for daytime long exposure photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the things people are more intrigued about landscape photography is that silky, misty and creamy look water can get when doing things right. Here in this set of tips, you\u2019ll find a lot of useful information about how to achieve that beautiful look with long exposure settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But getting the perfect contrast for a landscape shot can be difficult. Here Jason D. Little give us some tips on how to deal with some tricky contrast situations. Looking at what to do when your contrast is too high and too low, Jason ensures that you will be able to adapt your shooting style to obtain the image you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most magical times to capture landscapes (or any kind of image for that matter) is in the golden hour. In this how-to, Jason D. Little gives us some tips for shooting at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Jason notes, in very informal terms, the golden hour is simply the first hour of light after sunrise and the last hour of light before sunset and during each golden hour (morning and evening), you will find that the sun is low in the sky and when a light source is larger and closer relative to the subject, soft, diffused light is produced. Magical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The blue hour (which is different from the golden hour) also provides an opportunity for beautiful landscape photos. Here Jason Row invites us to get up really early in the morning, and trust me, it is worth every minute you will skip sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever seen some magnificent photographs with the sky filled with stars and you wonder, “how they make them?”.
